There are times when I fear that I may have imbalance in hormone, especially at certain times of the month. But mostly I presume my feeling lethargic is caused by an unhealthy diet for the most part, and lack of physical activity on the other. It’s hard sometimes to assess yourself if you’re just being paranoid and hypochondriac or if you’re putting off seeing the doctor when you actually have to. Speaking of hormone therapy, I remember hearing from a friend that such treatments (e.g., bioidentical hormone replacement therapy) sometimes cause dramatic weight increases, so I can only hope I won’t need to have that anytime in the future (we’re not going to talk about menopause here; that’s still too far). There are alternatives to hormone replacement like natural hormones, but I’ve read that drugs are not necessarily safe just because they’re “natural.”
